Better Than I Expected… But That’s Not Saying Much
Release Date: 2nd August 2013 (US)

After starring briefly in two of the years worst films, Lindsay Lohan makes her full length return in Paul Schrader’s “The Canyons”. A film that documents just how crazy one individual can go, when he finds out about the secret love affair between his girlfriend and the lead on his film project.

With this being Lindsay Lohan’s first full length appearance since the critically panned, “Labor Pains” released in 2009, there has been a lot of correspondence and speculation surrounding this indie flick.

Despite hearing some very mixed opinions, I have to say I wasn’t particularly fazed by “The Canyons”. The film is littered with problems, yet I never really had any trouble sitting through it. It is overdramatic and slightly ridiculous, but at times, that alone makes it a very compelling watch.

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t enjoy the movie, but I didn’t dislike it either. It’s a very middle of the road experience. Well at least it was for me anyway.

The films production budget is very low. So don’t go into it expecting some extravagant revenge-romance esque thriller, because that’s not what it is. In a way, the films plot-line could be compared to that of a soap opera. It’s not particularly exciting, but it is partially entertaining watching it unfold.

However, for such a low budget film ($250,000 to be precise), the film is actually rather attractive. It is very well lit and the various locations work with the direction that the film goes in. It’s well cinematised, and in terms of shots, whilst it doesn’t do anything original, there were times when I was watching the film amending some of the cinematography.

Now a lot of media outlets have compared to the film to porn. I don’t necessarily agree with that statement. Sure there are specific body parts that are revealed on numerous occasions, but whilst there is an emphasis on sex, it’s not as explicit as a lot of people have made it out to be.

The performances are average. Nobody really impressed me and whilst nobody is bad, some of the dialogue is very cheesy and repetitive, but of course that can only be blamed on the writers. Lindsay Lohan offers a solid turn as does real life porn star, James Deen, but nobody does anything that you’re going to love or remember the next day. Everyone’s very mediocre, and due to how ridiculous the film eventually becomes, the characters all end up becoming rather comical.

Whilst the film does lack in its key areas, along with the cinematography, one of the aspects I liked was the score. I will be the first to admit that it does sound very amateurish, but the electronic nature of it occasionally works, with what the movie is trying to present. That presentation being that shouldn’t have affairs, especially if you’re dating a complete an utter psychopath.

I have to admit The Canyons was lot of better than I expected it to be. I didn’t necessarily enjoy it, but there were aspects to it that I liked. Perhaps I’m being too nice, but for a low budget production I didn’t find it too bad. If you have a partial interest in seeing it, see it. But if you don’t, then I wouldn’t bother.

5/10

Low-budget film has a few good points, but too dreary and sordid to enjoy
While “The Canyons” is not a total loss, it still doesn’t work. As mentioned, it’s about this spoiled and mentally unbalanced trust fund baby named Christian (James Deen) who’s accustomed to getting his way, and his gold-digging yet not entirely unsympathetic girlfriend, former actress Tara (Lindsay Lohan). They live in a stylish mansion and have sex with each other and sometimes have guests join them. Partly on his father’s insistence that he work, Christian produces the occasional film and one of those films stars Ryan (Gerard Funk Nolan), a hunky actor whom Tara was once lovers with and whom she still secretly loves. This unexpectedly makes Christian violently jealous (even he’s surprised by his reaction) and sets in motion eventual tragedy. None of the people here are all that likable, not even the seemingly idealistic Ryan, and the low budget shows. The gratuitous sex and violence is reeks of exploitation. Yet the film is watchable at times. The entertainment industry is somewhat captured and some of the dialog is perceptive. The acting is somewhat better than one would expect. James Deen is a porn star, yet he shows he can carry a lead role without sinking a legitimate film. More importantly, Lindsay Lohan gives her best performance in years. She’s a greedy user not because she likes to be, but because she believes she has no choice, yet she’s still capable of love isn’t really out to hurt anyone. I don’t recommend this film, but it’s not as terrible as it could have been. For all its faults, “The Canyons” has its moments.
